		<title>Sign up for SpiersList!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year or so ago, I thought I’d create a monthly email newsletter to update people on projects I’m working on, positions I’m hiring for, things I’ve written elsewhere, etc., but I never got around to it. So I’m giving it a shot again.
I’m also going to include some component that goes beyond shameless gratuitous [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m hiring! Again!
One of my larger clients is launching a new lifestyle site and relaunching three others and I need new staffers for all of them. (We’re basically tearing them down and starting over—redesigning them, restructuring editorially and adding lots of new original content.)
Here are the positions available:
Editor-in Chief, women’s lifestyle and fashion site. (Full [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Stimulist</title>

Carlos Watson, an MSNBC anchor who also hosts a weekend show on talk radio network Air America, and a small band of staffers are readying The Stimulist, a news and opinion [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;ve been working on: HalogenLife launches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Or part of what I've been working on, anyway:

Today HalogenLife.com goes live. It is, to just come right out and say it, a luxury lifestyle blog. (One of my clients, HalogenNetwork, approached me months ago about re-doing their luxury travel site and this is what I recommended.) 

But in this economy, even mentioning the word "luxury" is taboo. Luxury retail is getting hammered and it'll probably get worse before it gets better. So why do it?]]></description>

		<title>Belatedly&#8230; Flavorwire.com launches!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been posting more frequently to Tumblr recently (see here), and have neglected to update this site. (There was a Fortune column quite a while ago, as dated by its title&#8211;&#8221;Lipstick on a Pig&#8221;&#8211;that&#8217;s a bit old news now.) And I filled the culture site editor position mentioned below&#8211;and launched the site already.
The site is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mugabe, Zimbabwe, Inflation, etc.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My most recent Fortune article on Zimbabwe has been on the newsstands for a couple of weeks, but it&#8217;s not online yet.  The short version: if Robert Mugabe stays in power and continues to thoroughly ruin the economy, he&#8217;ll eventually run out of money to pay his security forces (the only thing standing between [...]]]></description>

		<title>Job Posting: Culture Blog Editor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m helping out with recruiting and development for a company that&#8217;s launching an omnibus culture blog and we&#8217;re looking for a full-time editor.  The ideal candidate is a cultural omnivore who has some experience with blogging, managing/editing people (freelance contributions and submissions by internal staffers), and generating ideas for original content. The candidate should [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Case for Nukes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Belatedly: my last Fortune column has been up for a while.  It&#8217;s about nuclear energy, which has never been popular, but which I think no intellectually serious environmentalist can credibly dismiss as an alternative to fossil fuel burning technologies.  Nuclear energy is cleaner, and empirically speaking, much, much safer. But we&#8217;ve all seen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are You Local?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last Fast Company column is up now. (As explained previously, my Fortune contract is exclusive for business writing, so I can&#8217;t write for Fast Company anymore.)  I expect that this will get me more than the usual allotment of hate mail, but you can only walk into so many Brooklyn boutiques with piles [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wanted: A Room with A View. Of Sorts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m flooding the zone with this request (which means I put it here AND on Twitter):
I&#8217;m looking for housing (for about a month) in Phnom Penh and sadly, there is no http://cambodia.craigslist.org.  (There is a http://vietnam.craigslist.org, but that&#8217;s just not close enough.)  So if anyone has any contacts in the region who could [...]]]></description>
